Ruby Nickname:Ruby Queen of Snark
Biography:

Laurie Kellogg is a 2X winner of Romance Writers of America®'s Golden Heart® award (2004 & 2006), the recipient of Pacific Northwest Writers Association’s ZOLA award (2004), and she was an Romantic Times American Title I finalist. Her contemporary 'Bad Boys & Booties' love stories--a blend of sexy humor and drama--are pure steamy, romantic fun. In addition to Laurie’s membership in the national organization Romance Writers of America®, she also belongs to local RWA chapters, Bucks County Romance Writers and New Jersey Romance Writers as well as RWA’s special interest chapter, The Golden Network. In her free time, Laurie enjoys cooking, movies, crafts, and reading on her treadmill. Well, maybe she doesn't enjoy the treadmill that much, but it's a necessary evil to fight her never-ending battle of the bulge. She despises housework and has resorted to naming the dust-bunnies that multiply as fast as real rabbits while she writes.
